I'm still trying to figure out what "gorillas with credit cards" means.

is it just me or does everyone in the Bay Area hate Burning Man now?

(Chateau Co-Op show we played w/Stratford 4 was one of my favorite shows ever. The fire dept came TWICE)

When I was there, Cloyne was known for DMT availability (never tried it) and Chateau was known for a TB outbreak.

Your Berkeley is so different from my Berkeley.

I've never even really been on the campus!

South/West B-Town is my turf. It's real down here!

I'm down with the Southside. Lived on Blake and also Dwight, worked in E-ville. word.

My Super Burrito, pictured above, came from Juan's Place in Berkeley.

I actually knew that from the photo!

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 20:45 (twenty years ago)

hmmm...

whereabouts on Blake or Dwight?

― I'd still rather be in Tokyo (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 20:45 (twenty years ago)

Close to Campus, cross-street Fulton. Not strictly West-sizzle, but I know the area.

General comments:

I've had carne guisada tacos before with rice in them, so rice is totally ok inside tortillas.

(Though they did look askance at me when I ordered them that way. Eh. They's tasty.)

I don't know very many Mexican/Tex-Mex places here that have burritos on the menu, but the most authentic-tasting "Mexican" national chain restaurant actually makes its trade on burritos. That would be Chipotle Grill. Chipotle has THE MOST AUTHENTIC-tasting food I've ever had from a chain that can be found outside a specific region of the country, even though their tortilla was a bit chewy. Regular flour tortillas purchased at a molino are light, pillowy, and soft. And bad for you too, sure, but oh they taste so good.

Last Mexican food I had: Two potato & egg tacos on corn tortillas for breakfast Sunday. I think. Yeah. The corn tortillas were mercifully homemade, so they were deliciously thick and hearty. Not like the stuff you get from a package at your local McMart, though those are good for home use & for making migas or chilaquiles.

Oh! And correction time -- enchiladas aren't supposed to have meat in them unless they specifically mention they've got meat. Enchiladas are supposed to be filled with cheese. That's it. And the best enchiladas have just a rich chili powder-based sauce on top, not actual chili. Though if that's what the restaurant wants to do... eh.

most of the mex places here do, except for the more high-end restaurants that specialize in seafood.

Once a month, like my peri -- oh wait.

Oh yes. The AZ/TX divide. It's probably all in how the Mexican immigrants from the two states came from different parts of Mexico. Which is why CA Mexican food tasted very weird to me when I first had it (which is putting it lightly), and why I suspect NM Mexican food would taste more familiar to me.

Most of these local places, BTW, have a special section in their menus for nachos, though they're not the type with the fakey orange melted cheese-type topping (which I do like, actually). Most of these variations of nachos also include beans, BTW. I don't know why; that's just how things are, apparently. Hm.

There were some good burritos to be had in Redding — grilled chicken and roasted green chili at Senor Rosas, and spicy shrimp at La Cabana. Nothing here that I don't make myself.

― Rock Hardy (Rock Hardy), Wednesday, 13 July 2005 01:13 (twenty years ago)

ok i ate a burrito at the santa fe cafe (calabasas) at my lunch break today and they put corn in it. wtf?!?!

― huell howser (chaki), Wednesday, 13 July 2005 01:25 (twenty years ago)

on troubled days such as these, only burritos will provide us enough solace or surcease of sorrow

English burritos you eat in the rain:

BURBERRYTOS

― nickn (nickn), Wednesday, 13 July 2005 23:02 (twenty years ago)

Usually 2 per week, very different from one another. I had a chicken burrito from someplace near my work yesterday and a really good one at La Cabanita last Saturday night. I may go for another one Friday night or Saturday or Sunday...down in San Diego. Sure would like to find a nice mole burrito someplace near 90026.

three weeks pass...

the local burrito purveyors now recognize me. is this a good thing?

― kingfish (Kingfish), Friday, 5 August 2005 17:12 (twenty years ago)

That depends, do they recognize you as "EL CHINGO MAS GORDO"?

― n/a (Nick A.), Friday, 5 August 2005 17:22 (twenty years ago)

well, i asked them, and all the counter girls said they just called me "Senor Pene Mas Grande."

They wouldn't tell me why, tho, or what that means. I hope they're not insulting me.

― kingfish (Kingfish), Friday, 5 August 2005 17:34 (twenty years ago)

I just moved to San Diego from DC and I'm eating between 3 and 6 burritos every week.
Usually lobster burritos at El Zarape.
I also have In N Out like twice a week.
Incidentally, I have put on 145lbs since moving here.

― TruthHammer, Friday, 5 August 2005 17:36 (twenty years ago)

Do you usually eat burritos while grieving, kingfish?

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Friday, 5 August 2005 17:38 (twenty years ago)

I had a burrito last night for dinner and regretted it. Bleurgh.

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 5 August 2005 17:39 (twenty years ago)

I rarely eat burritos - something about the big ol' flour tortilla just doesn't work for me.

BURRITO NIGHT 2NITE

― Dr. Glen Y. Abreu (dr g), Friday, 5 August 2005 18:01 (twenty years ago)

My lunch today will be a frozen burrito and a can of Red Bull.

One day, in a hospital bed, I'll wonder if it was all worth it.

― Pleasant Plains /// (Pleasant Plains ///), Friday, 5 August 2005 18:03 (twenty years ago)

I was watching LOST the other night thinking how, if I was stranded on that island, by day 30 I'd be wrapping raw, whole fishes in palm fronds and calling them "burritos". And puking all over Hurley's FUPA.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Friday, 5 August 2005 18:06 (twenty years ago)

kingfish i think what they're doing is like when you call a fat guy "slim". ZING etc
